Don Beebe
Join us for Green Bay Packer Day at St. Dennis as we hear from one of the Pack's stars, Don Beebe. Beebe is a former wide receiver who played in the NFL for nine years, six of which involved trips to the Super Bowl, a feat no other man has yet surpassed! Beebe played his last two years in the NFL with the Packers, winners of the Super Bowl in 1996 and 2010. He has always been highly respected by fellow players and coaches and was honored as an "unsung hero" at the NFL Players Association Banquet. God has a plan for our lives, and no one understands that better than Don Beebe. His faith story will encourage and inspire his listeners to "take up their cross" and follow Jesus Christ, no matter where it leads.

Song of Mark
"Here Begins the Good News" with an outstanding production of "The Song of Mark". The musical/drama, written by Marty Haugen, will once again be performed by some of St. Dennis' masterful musicians. Everyone will enjoy hearing the songs telling the story of Christ's mission, like "If Anyone Has Ears" and "Bread to Share". Then, we will all experience Christ's Passion through this drama. Many will remember parts of this when it was performed here at St. Dennis for our Palm Sunday services. Come and take part in this dramatic form of prayer and thanksgiving!
